Lesbilicious - the web’s tastiest lesbian magazine

Where many gay couples in Texas are fighting for the right to have their unions recognised by the state, one couple is fighting to get theirs dissolved.

Due to a legal loophole,  a Texas-based lesbian former couple have been told by the courts that they cannot get a divorce  - even though it doesn’t recognise their marriage. Angelique Naylor and Sabina Daly got married in Massachussets, where gay marriage is legal but by the time they separated three years ago, they had moved to Texas. They had initially been given a divorce by a judge in Austin, but Texas Attorney Greg Abbott has overruled the decision, claiming that it would undermine ”traditional definition of marriage”.

The two women share responsibility not only for their son, but also their business. Talking about their struggle to The Daily Telegraph Naylor, who initiated divorce proceedings, describes divorce as a “courtesy” that the state should be in a position to offer them.
